[0030] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0031] In the prior art, a gas equalization plate generally includes an upper plate and a lower plate. The upper plate and the lower plate are each provided with multiple air holes. During the production of the gas equalization plate, the upper plate and the lower plate need to be glued together. Due to the lack of suitable auxiliary tools, the air holes on the upper plate and the lower plate often cannot be aligned, which will greatly affect the performance of the gas equalization plate.
[0032] Therefore, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a device for aligning and pressing an air distribution plate to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, a device for aligning and pressing an air distribution plate includes a pressing base 1, an upper pressing plate 2, and adjustable pads 4. The upper pressing plate 2 is positioned above the pressing base 1, and there is a gap between the upper pressing plate 2 and the pressing base 1. When the upper plate of the air distribution plate and the lower plate of the air distribution plate are glued together, the upper plate of the air distribution plate and the lower plate of the air distribution plate can be accommodated in the gap. The upper pressing plate 2 is connected to the pressing base 1 through a pressing structure 3. The upper pressing plate 2 is provided with a fixing plate 21 and an alignment device 22. Multiple adjustable pads 4 are arranged on the pressing base 1, and the multiple adjustable pads 4 form a receiving space. The lower plate of the air distribution plate can be accommodated in the receiving space. The adjustable pads 4 are provided with a pressing structure 41, which is used to abut against the lower plate of the air distribution plate.
[0034] In the process of bonding the upper and lower plates of the gas equalization disk together with adhesive, firstly, adhesive is applied to the lower plate of the gas equalization disk, and the glued lower plate is placed in the receiving space formed by multiple adjustable pads 4. The lower plate of the gas equalization disk is fixed with the tightening structure 41. Then, the upper plate of the gas equalization disk is fixed to the fixing plate 21 with adhesive, and the fixing plate 21 is fixedly installed on the upper pressure plate 2. Next, the alignment device 22 is observed, and the position of the fixing plate 21 relative to the upper pressure plate 2 is adjusted. Align the air holes on the upper plate and the lower plate of the gas equalization plate. Finally, use the force of the clamping structure 3 to hold the upper plate and the lower plate of the gas equalization plate between the fixed plate 21 and the pressing base 1. This not only ensures accurate alignment of the air holes on the upper plate and the lower plate of the gas equalization plate, but also effectively prevents the upper plate and the lower plate of the gas equalization plate from moving relative to each other during the process of moving the gas equalization plate before the colloid is cured, which would cause inaccurate alignment of the air holes on the upper plate and the lower plate of the gas equalization plate.
[0035] In some embodiments, the alignment device 22 is a quartz column with a first alignment mark on it. The upper pressure plate 2 has a mounting hole, and the quartz column is installed in the mounting hole. The fixing plate 21 has a second alignment mark. During the process of adjusting the position of the fixing plate 21 relative to the upper pressure plate 2, the relative position of the first alignment mark and the second alignment mark is observed, so that the air holes of the upper plate and the lower plate of the air distribution plate are accurately aligned.
[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to reduce the manufacturing cost of the air distribution plate alignment and pressing device of this application, the pressing structure 3 includes a pressing screw 31 and an elastic element 32 sleeved on the pressing screw 31. The pressing screw 31 passes through the upper pressure plate 2 and the pressing base 1, and the elastic element 32 is disposed above the upper pressure plate 2. The elastic element 32 is preferably a spring.
[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the position between the fixing plate 21 and the upper pressure plate 2, and to facilitate the fixing plate 21 to be fixed on the upper pressure plate 2, the upper pressure plate 2 is provided with multiple sliding grooves 23, and the fixing plate 21 is fixed on the upper pressure plate 2 by bolts and sliding grooves 23.
[0038] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the position between the fixing plate 21 and the upper pressure plate 2, the upper pressure plate 2 is provided with a first through hole 24, the fixing plate 21 is at least partially accommodated in the first through hole 24, and the portion of the fixing plate 21 that protrudes from the first through hole 24 is provided with an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is used to apply force to the upper pressure plate 2, so that the fixing plate 21 can rotate in the first through hole 24.
[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment mechanism is a groove 211, which facilitates the placement of the gas equalization disc alignment and pressing device of this application in other equipment (such as a colloid curing device) for subsequent processing.
[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to limit the position of the air distribution plate by the adjustable pad 4, at least one side of the adjustable pad 4 is an arc surface, which is adapted to the air distribution plate. The tightening structure 41 is a set screw. The adjustable pad 4 is provided with a second through hole, and the set screw passes through the second through hole.
[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the adjustable pad 4 relative to the pressing base 1 so that air distribution plates of different thicknesses can be aligned and pressed using the air distribution plate alignment and pressing device of this application, the pressing base 1 is provided with a first guide post 11. The first guide post 11 is at least partially inserted through the adjustable pad 4. The adjustable pad 4 can move along the first guide post 11 under the action of external force. The adjustable pad 4 is fixed to the pressing base 1 by a fixing structure, which can be a bolt. The adjustable pad 4 and the pressing base 1 are provided with corresponding threaded holes. The adjustable pad 4 is fixed to the pressing base 1 by bolts and threaded holes.
[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to prevent the upper pressure plate 2 from rotating relative to the pressing base 1 during the process of moving towards the pressing base 1, a guide structure 5 is provided between the upper pressure plate 2 and the pressing base 1. The upper pressure plate 2 can move towards the pressing base 1 along the guide structure 5 under the action of external force.
[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, in order to reduce the manufacturing cost of the gas equalization disc alignment and pressing device of this application, the guide structure 5 includes a second guide post 51 and a guide sleeve 52 sleeved on the second guide post 51. The upper pressure plate 2 and the pressing base 1 are respectively provided with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole.
